Every summer, the Library puts together a Community Art Project, inviting all members of the community, no matter their level of expertise, to take part. A medium is chosen and distributed, and participants are given one directive: create something! Each work of art is then exhibited in the library and then auctioned off as a fundraiser for the library. Over the years, the materials have included discarded books, nautical charts, chairs, horseshoe crab molts, and more!
The Summer 2025 Community Art Project is all about buttons; making and crafting with them! And oh my, do we have buttons. Some wonderful donations came in along with fiber and fabric for our Super Bowl Sale in February and we are always happy to accept more buttons for the cause. You are welcome to use your own button stash, but the library has plenty to share. By mid April bags of buttons will be ready for pick up at the library. If you need some help with ideas, take a look at the button boards on Pinterest. You will be sure to see something that sparks an idea. Happy buttoning!
